Tom
Cruise was the last person you would have thought of as Anne
Rice's aristocratic vamp Lestat, and though he's not perfect,
he's far better than any of us would have believed. It's Stephen
Rea and Antonio Banderas,
though, who demonstrate the real style needed. You can see the
building used as the 'St Martin Hotel', where Louis (Brad
Pitt) tells his story to an incredulous Daniel Malloy (Christian
Slater), in San Francisco
Brad
P itt's estate is the venerable Oak
Alley Plantation, 3645 Louisiana State Highway 18
in Vacherie, Louisiana. One of the chain of restored antebellum
mansions between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Oak Alley, built
in 1839, takes its name from the avenue of 28 oaks leading up
to it. It's open to the public most days. The house was also featured
in the 1985 TV film of William Faulkner's The Long Hot Summer,
with Don Johnson and Jason Robards.
